Good morning everyone.  I need some help.  I'm researching a few of  
the issues surrounding mechanism of injury and the guidelines/ 
standards for over or under triage as they relate to the use of  
medical helicopters.  Can anyone help direct me in the correct  
direction.

Several of the recent news articles and statements being made make  
reference the "Standards / Guidelines" of when to use medical aircraft  
and which mechanism's of injury (quote/unquote) "require their use" or  
"require the patient be taken to a higher level trauma center."  In  
searching the ACS web site and others I'm unable to find the specific  
citation or reference document.  Additionally the issue of over and  
under triage has also been cited, but here too I'm unable to find the  
resource document that these statements are based on.  Can anyone  
provide the citations or where to obtain this information?

Thanks!!

Take care,

Bob
